A 40-g block of ice is cooled to -78 degrees C. It is added to 560 g of water in an 80-g copper calorimeter at a temperature of 25 degrees C. Determine the final temperature. (If not all the ice melts, determine how much ice is left) Remember that the ice must first warm to 0 Degrees C to melt, and then continue warming as water. The specific heat of ice is 0.500 cal/g.Degree C = 2 090 J/kg . degree C.
